Today the Metaverse1 project received the Silver 2011 ITEA2 Outstanding Achievement Award at the ITEA2 / Artemis co-summit in Helsinki ... after my plenary project presentation I accepted the award on behalf of all of you ... the work package leaders will receive (by surface mail) an engraved silver medal and accompanying document as well ... this was the last formal action / event of our project and a very good achievement as there were some 15 candidate projects !!!

Once again, many thanks to all of you for all your support in this very challenging and successful project !!

The Metaverse1 project will provide: a standardized global framework enabling the interoperability between Virtual worlds (as for example Second Life, World of Warcraft, IMVU, Active Worlds, Google Earth and many others) and the Real world (sensors, actuators, vision and rendering, social and welfare systems, banking, insurance, travel, real estate and many others).
